I have a 13.3 1/2 hand welsh/tbx filly that is almost four. She is a little bit down hill and I was wondering if that meant she was going to grow, or just be down hill for the rest of her life... Does anyone know?

Hard to say, but the odds are she probably just having a late growing streak. My mare didn't really quit growing and filling out until 5 years old. Also, knowing she is crossed with TB I would think she might still have some growing left in her.

Well at least that means that there is hope! She was meant to be a 14.1 or 14.2hh pony for me to ride (I'm 5'4 but prefer ponies) but she turned out to be a pip-squeak and now I have to sell her. I think she would do really well in the hunter world, but unfortunately her size puts her at a bit of a dissadvantage.. And her down hill-ness doesn't help when she bucks!

Sweet Pea is 5, and she was built pretty downhill when we got her, but has almost leveled out now. She was 12 h at the withers exactly, she is 12.1 and a little bit now. I always wanted a pony that would grow with the kids!

Haha, you could put it that way! I had this one pony when I was younger that I wished would grow with me! Unfortunately that never happened..

I dont know about your little one. But the filly I sold about 2 years ago will be 4yrs in June. Her sire has slow growing offspring. They grow up until they are 7 yrs. And the sire himself actually grew until and matured until he was 10 yrs.

Hope that helps. For example. She is about 15 hands at the hip, and 14.3 at the shoulders. Shes at another growth spurt.
